Shape Your Future Through Our Interdisciplinary Undergraduate Programs

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers a diverse array of 28 majors and 16 minors. Our programs empower students to tailor their academic paths to suit their passions and future career pursuits.

With a focus on interdisciplinary learning, students can such as social justice, mental health, sustainable futures, and the power of creative expression by taking courses across various disciplines.

Our students acquire essential knowledge and connect classroom learning to real-world challenges preparing them to become leaders, team players and advocates for positive change. With access to a wealth of resources and experiential learning opportunities, students are encouraged to collaborate with peers and engage with the broader community.

I’ve greatly enjoyed my double major in History and Greek & Roman Studies. It’s allowed me to spend time exploring different time periods and ways of thinking about the past that have, ultimately, enabled me to find my passion. The opportunity to learn new languages and new styles of writing has also given me a wide range of skills I can use going forward in my academic career.

Dilara Erver (right) began her storytelling by reading the story in a linear, 鈥渇ront to back鈥 way. However, as the children became more engaged in the activity, they began to interact directly, with the story to find its meaning for themselves. Dilara changed her reading strategy by relying more on sound effects and images than the context of the book to connect with the children. Photo by Ainslie Coghill.
